The Good: A decent athlete who can side-step pressure in the pocket and get the ball down the field. Possesses good arm strength and accuracy when he has time to deliver the ball. At his best attacking the short-intermediate defense, where he showcases good accuracy and timing. Exhibits good footwork in the pocket and can operate both from under center or in the shotgun. The Bad: Struggles with his decision-making in the face of pressure. Has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long in the pocket and isn't comfortable throwing receivers open. Lacks accuracy outside the numbers.
